club car running slow with new batteries
Bought use club car, cheap,with 2006 batteries but only movement was sputtering. Did the epson salt trick to the batteries and cart worked great. Good speed. After a few uses batteries didn't hold charge very well, cord would get very hot with charge and water needed adding after every charge. Cart had slowed down and started sputtering again. Decided to get new batteries 6, T-875 batteries. Cord still getting hot and cart not going as fast as it had been going with old batteries. After reading posts I realized the heating was resistance and I cleaned the connections behind the F/R. Cord not heating anymore. New batteries working well first few times cart is used and charged after each use. Used cart this weekend and it moved very slow, with full charge, and then quickly started sputtering. Could get it to barely move with peddle half way down. Charged batteries started at 20 amps and within 30 min was down to 5. Tried cart again and same thing, very slow and sputtering after 1 short block. We didn't change cables with new batteries or any wires.
Any ideas what has happened. Thank you! 2001 club car with lift, 48 volt, 6 new Batteries, model# 5bc59jbs6360 |

What is the pack voltage and individual battery voltages after 12 hours off the charger? Also, you posted club car questions in the ezgo forum. Honest mistake I'm sure. Maybe a mod will move this thread. |

Wiring is good. Will change cables next week and see if that helps.
